I recently did a photo to recognize a local scout who completed his Eagle Scout project. The young man laid a new paver path, made many improvements and fixed a variety of issues that time and the elements had affected at this place known as the Grotto. I honestly know very little about the Catholic faith or for that matter what exactly the purpose of the Grotto is? My impression is it’s a place to pray, find peace and practice your faith? This is located on Catholic Church property and is really off the beaten path. It is under heavy mature trees and believe me when the sun went down it got extremely dark real quick. My idea was to light the scene and create a kind of outward illumination emanating from the central figure of Mary? I do know that this young mans eagle scout project was greatly appreciated by many people.

As always your work is stunning and beautiful thank you for sharing
thank you very much!
Great job with (hidden) lighting. Well done, again!
The old hidden lighting trick! thanks
When I was a teen I sometimes walked around in that place. I think I was searching for a mystical experience which of course never came but it was very quiet and peaceful there.
How do you remember back that far? were any dinosaurs back there in those early days?
The young man did a fantastic job for his patch and being Catholic understand the place and it’s nice to have. You brought it all to life both and the young man. Thank you, Don.
